Abstract
The invention relates to a handle arrangement for a portable, foldable electronic device (1) comprising two or more use positions and comprising at least two housing parts (6, 9) foldable in relation to each other and a hinge mechanism (36) arranged for connecting and folding the first and the second housing parts (1, 9) in relation to each other. The handle arrangement comprises a handle-like third housing part (2) arranged for holding the device (1) in the different use positions. The third housing part (2) comprises at least one key button (4, 5) within the reach of the fingers for controlling the electronic functions of the device (1), and a navigation key (3) within the reach of the forefinger. The navigation key is equipped with a push-button function and arranged rotatable in at least two opposite directions.
